Magaly del Carmen Yepes Trejos inherited Finca Balvanera after her father died in 2020. Taking over the farm was a challenge and Magaly faced an immense learning curve which she approached it with precision and a detail orientation honed from her training and experience in finance. Each tree was audited for age, condition, and expected productivity. Trees past their best life span were removed and replanted. Over the last few years, Magaly has established a coffee nursery which provides seedlings to replace the unproductive trees. This gives her full control of the varietals she is planting on her farm. Magaly has also begun construction of a micro mill which will enable her to process her coffee on the farm.
